Wissenswertes
Some of the "German" tanks are actually mocked-up Sentinel tanks from a canceled Australian cruiser tank project; their appearance represents the only time Sentinels were ever used outside of testing.

Patzer
When questioned by an officer, the men say that they are from the 2/2nd battalion. This battalion was part of the 16th Brigade of the 6th Division. The battalion was not part of the 9th Division which served in Tobruk during the siege.

Zitate
Peter Linton: Still I've got to get home to the old country now. I've got to be in this show somehow.
Milo Trent: You stick with us and you'll be in it quick enough!

Crazy Credits
The incidents in this film are founded upon fact but the characters are fictitious.

Bad sound recording, some bad acting, but made in the middle of the war

Trying to watch "The Rats of Tobruk" at Kanopy, the library service, I was often frustrated by the too-dark print and by the frequent sound errors.

I don't like war movies anyway, and this one did what I expect from a war movie: It showed the sheer insanity of war, and how, as usual, the people in charge, meaning governments and their component politicians, manage to get people killed for pretty much no reason.

Yes, this was made in 1944, getting on toward the end of World War II, but I did expect higher quality. The Brits made good movies during the war, and they were often directly under attack.

Still, everything considered, I can recommend "The Rats of Tobruk" as an interesting experience: It's an Australian movie, which in my opinion we don't see enough of here in these United States.
